Abstract
An answer to how to describe the macro and micro world in a language of information is still at the beginning. This paper presents the results of ten years of thinking and research on how to link the communication concept of information called Shannon information with elementary physical quantities. It shows that such information has the potential to bring about a common language for describing the micro and macro world.
